The drive from Adelaide to Goolwa takes around one hour and
20 minutes, with the choice of two main driving routes and not much time
difference between them.

The Southern Expressway is the most direct route, via the
McLaren Vale, also called the Gateway to the Fleurieu. The alternative, and
arguably more scenic route, is the South Eastern Freeway.

If you come to Goolwa by car, keep your eyes open for the heritage-registered
Aboriginal Canoe Tree at Currency Creek.
